Environmental Impact From Electronic Waste

JBODTECH puts a priority on reducing the toxic and destructive impact on our environment from electronic waste.

Modern electronics contain many harmful and toxic substances such as mercury and lead. We practice and encourage technology reuse and recycling. We believe every discarded, outdated, or decommissioned laptop or desktop computer, at the very least, yields many reusable parts or raw materials. Computers can be responsibly and efficiently rebuilt and reused, extending their life and reducing environmental damage. Machines too old or broken to be reused can be broken down to the core components, and the raw components like steel and plastic reclaimed.

Our shop maintains strict environmental protection policies, recycling almost all waste generated. All of our building renovations have been done using non-toxic paints, natural wood flooring, and natural fiber carpeting. On a day to day basis, we use natural, recycled, and proven environmentally-friendly cleaning products, soaps, garbage bags, and paper goods such as tissues and paper and towels.

Computer Reuse & Recycling

The Problem

More than 250 million computers in the U.S. may become obsolete in the next five years, and those machines, along with televisions, VCRs & cell phones are flooding the nation's landfills. As a result, substances such as lead, mercury, chromium and cadmium are seeping into the environment at alarming rates.

Discarded electronic equipment is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the industrialized world and has become a national, and international, concern as the volume of "e-waste" continues to expand exponentially. Without effective and considered phase-outs of hazardous chemicals, as well as the development of effective collection, reuse and recycling systems, highly toxic chemicals found in "e-waste" will continue to contaminate soil and groundwater, threatening the environment even further.

More than 63 million tons of computer equipment is taken out of service each year, and 85% of it will end up in the landfills, according to the National Safety Council.

Startlingly, more than 50% of computers being thrown away today are in good working order or could be easily be repaired, according to the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition.

Norton & McAfee - Not highly recommended

Independent research from multiple established and reputable sources has shown that Symantec's Norton, Network Associates McAfee, and Microsoft's One Care are some of the biggest hogs of computer resources. These programs have been shown to be the leading cause of slow system startup. These programs install multiple background services and agents, and often run constant performance reducing scans while you are trying to work.

Warning: If your computer or hard drive makes any unusual noises such as clicking, grinding or metal scraping, turn it off immediately! This typically indicates a situation that can destroy data!

Trust JBODTECH for Data Recovery Service in Georgia

JBODTECH has the expertise and experience to accurately diagnose your unique data recovery situation and provide the best possible path to complete data recovery. We take pride in recovering data for our clients and for our ability to relieve the stress, panic and anxiety associated with data loss and choosing a data recovery company.

A Warning About Data Recovery Services

There are literally hundreds of companies on the Internet offering data recovery services. The cost of recovery can often be thousands of dollars, creating a shady and lucrative data recovery underground. How do you know you are dealing with a reputable company you can trust to recover your data for a fair price? Many companies charge huge "attempt" fees knowing full well a successful data recovery is unlikely. Others offer "free evaluations" but charge outrageous prices for the actual data recovery. Here are some tips when researching data recovery companies:

Check the company outBe sure to call any data recovery company on the phone first. Be cautious of companies with generic looking websites. A legitimate company should have some some photos of their operation Ask to visit their location to see the operation, if they are defensive, be wary.

Look for a local companyData recovery businesses located in large, shared corporate offices with suite numbers often are just acting as middlemen. These companies do little or no data recovery on site, and will ship your drive secretly out of state to their lab one of their partners.

Reputation and reviewsA real data recovery company should have a solid reputation. Google the name of the company and look for independent reviews. Look for real testimonials that are impossible to fake. Legitimate reviews should tell a personal story and contain specific details of the entire experience.

Pricing and promisesDue to the vast array of data loss scenarios, up front flat pricing quotes are usually something to be cautious of. Many data recovery situations do not require cleanroom service, which may cost several thousand dollars. Be cautious of any company offering a flat rate for data recovery without physically evaluating your unique situation.

Safe, Trusted and Cost Effective Data Recovery

JBODTECH's data recovery mission is to guide our clients through the murky waters of the data recovery industry. JBODTECH will honestly evaluate your data recovery situation and inform you of your options. Our services are priced to be affordable to the average user. Most home and small business level data recovery that we perform costs between $120 and $480, not thousands. However there are situations where a hard drive is totally inoperable and can only be recovered in a clean room.

Blue screens of death, inaccessible boot devices, corrupt or missing files, kernel panics, or a flashing question mark doesn't always mean your hard drive is failing. It may be simple to perform data recovery. Viruses, tojans, spyware, software bugs and file system corruption can all render a computer inoperable, while the hard drive may still be completely healthy. This level of "data recovery" is what most computer repair companies can do; yet often they charge outrageous prices when all they have to do is hook the drive to another computer.

Why Data Recovery in a Clean Room is Sometimes Required

The fact is, data recovery is not just software by any means. It is a specialized micro-mechanical and electronic trouble-shooting process that requires a great deal of experience and resources. Our highly trained staff is able to perform data recovery from storage devices that have experienced everything from file corruption, viral damage, file deletion, user error, and even the early stages of mechanical failure. For drives and devices that have suffered a complete failure, JBODTECH has partnered with DriveSavers Data Recovery Lab. DriveSavers specializes in data recovery from hard drives that have ceased functioning entirely.

Hard drives are the primary data storage device used in laptops and desktops today. Hard drives are essentially high tech magnetic record players. Data is stored on the surface of a metal platter, which spins at extremely high speeds as a mechanical arm moves around the surface of the disk to read and write data. The most common data recovery situations are caused by hard drive mechanical failures. Over time wear and tear builds up and eventually causes all hard drives to fail. The most common failures are caused by damage to the surface of the disk, failure of the ball bearings that spin the disk, and failure of reader arm, which reads and writes data to the disk. When this happens, successful data recovery requires the drive to be opened in order to repair, replace or bypass the failed mechanical components. Some drives are not recoverable because they have been powered on for hours in a failed state or taken apart outside of a clean room.

Data Recovery for all Operating Systems and Storage Media

There are many types of data loss and an even greater variety of data storage devices, including hard drives, digital camera memory cards, USB removable media (thumb, jump, and pin drives), multiple disk drive and / MP3 players. We recover data from every type of device, format and storage medium.
